Ammar hikes \(\frac{23}{4}\) miles of nature trail in 1 hour and 15 minutes. How many miles of trail does Ammar hike per hour?

23/4 miles is as much as 5 3/4 miles. We can also write it as a decimal, because 5 3/4 = 5,75 miles.
If Ammar hikes 5,75 miles in 1 1/4 hour, then we need to find out what distance does he hike in 1/4 hour (15 minutes). To do that we can just divide 5,75 by 5 (because dividing 1 1/4 by 5 will give us 1/4 we're looking for).
5,75 / 5 = 1,15
It means that in one hour Ammar hikes 5,75 - 1,15 = 4,6 miles.
We can also write it as a fraction:
4,6 = 4 6/10 = 4 3/5 = 23/5 miles
Just pick whichever form you like :)
